thats the controls for heads up display

nice ride!!!!

thanks everyone for the complements, this car is awesome and i am really happy with it, right now i am polishing the headlights with one of those 3M kits from walmart, this is my 4th car doing it to and its turning out great

oh ok, i remember now, yeah that stupid car, i pulled the engine out put a new flywheel/flexplate so i could have fixed the issue right there no prob!

i sold that car to my couisn shes driving it right now with no problems to speak of, once she finally pays me for the car i am going to take it to the trans shop and have a transgo kit put into it and that from what a pro at those trannys say will fix the issue

looking into a SRI with a k&n, nothing fancy because i dont want anything liek that, infact i might spray paint the tube black instead of the chrome

btw first kill with it today, 00-04 impala, guy had his windows tinted and had a load stereo, gave me a look and started creeping past the white line so i figured why not, beating him doesnt quite describe it, more like raped him lol

still trying to get used to the 260hp in the rain, my last car only had about 170hp (2.5l duratec in a 99 mercury cougar)

also i am considering rattle canning my grilles, looking at the ebay silver ones i think i can make them look just as good if not better, might get a spare set of black grilles if i go this route first

i opted for a ebay intake with a k&n, payed a bit extra but i think it will look a little cleaner plus i dont have to worry about ordering the right filter


now heres an issue i have, it seems from my searching that its a difficult fix

the car has a monsoon 6 disk cd player and i want to beabe to use my ipod! fm modulators or whatever they are called are a no go, i would prefer not to buy an aftermarket h/u as i really like the stocker, not sure i the car has xm sat but it does have on star

i kinda wanna get it away from the engine bay a bit so i got one with a tube, looking at the pics the cone should be under the reinforcement bar thing like yours but closer to the front of the engine bay i spent about $80 and it is k&n

very nice, i love the color. Looks real sleek what a awsome find.

Congrats on the new ride ! very nice.........
